CHECK YOUR VENT SYSTEM FOR GOOD AIRFLOW
Good airow
Along with heat, dryers require good airow to efciently
dry laundry. Proper venting will reduce your drying times
and improve your energy savings. See Installation
Instructions.
The venting system attached to the dryer plays a big role
in good airow.
Service calls caused by improper venting are not covered
by the warranty and will be paid by the customer, regardless
of who installed the dryer.
Maintaining good airow
n
Clean your lint screen before each load.
n
Replace plastic or foil vent material
with 4" (102 mm) diameter heavy, rigid
vent material.
Good
Better
n
Use the shortest length of vent possible.
n
Use no more than four 90° elbows in a vent system.
Each bend and curve reduces airow.
n
Remove lint and debris from the exhaust hood.
n
Remove lint from the entire length of the vent system
at least every 2 years. When cleaning is complete, be
sure to follow the Installation Instructions supplied with
your dryer for nal product check.
n
Clear away items from the front of the dryer.
Eco Dry option
The Eco Dry option will default on only for the Normal cycle and is only available on that cycle.
This option allows you to increase your energy savings by using a slightly lower heat level. The Eco Dry option will increase
drying times by approximately 40 minutes, which will be reected on the LED Display. If optimal time is desired, touch ECO DRY
to turn off this option.
Use Sensor Cycles for better fabric care and energy savings
Use the Sensor Cycles to provide the most energy savings and enhanced fabric care from the dryer. During Sensor Cycles, drying
air temperature and moisture level are sensed in the load. This sensing occurs throughout the drying cycle and the dryer shuts off
when the load reaches the selected dryness. Use the Normal dryness level to provide optimal energy savings.
With Timed Dry, the dryer runs the amount of time set and sometimes results in shrinkage, wrinkling, and static due to overdrying.
Use Timed Dry for the occasional damp load that needs a little more drying time or when using the drying rack.
